Abstract
The contribution of using end-cap steel anchorage to enhance flexural behavior of concrete beams with FRP reinforcement was investigated. Concrete beam and pull-off specimens were cast using ordinary strength concrete and three different types of FRP bars without and with steel end cap anchorages attached to their ends. Specimens were exposed to elevated temperatures of up to 500 °C before mechanically tested along with undamaged ones. Results showed that use of the proposed technique has tangibly improved the bond strength between FRP bars and heat-damaged concrete and promoted the flexural response of corresponding beams.
